Police Lt. Charles Lister shared a few more reports, indicating the bandits are striking from dark until morning and sometimes leaving lug nuts in the parking lots.

According to the reports, at least one bandit stole the tires and rims from a 2017 Chevrolet Camaro outside apartments on St. Martins, near Purlinbrook Street, on March 21.

Police arrived to find the vehicle on landscaping bricks and the lug nuts nearby. Security cameras did not cover where the Camaro was parked.

That same day, a woman living in apartments near Purlingbrook Street and West Eight Mile Road left for work but soon stopped driving because something felt funny. She got out to find the lug nuts on the ground and the tires askew.

On the morning of Sunday, March 24, a couple living on Brentwood south of Pickford and Seven Mile Road was able to shoo off someone apparently pilfering parts from the couple's cars.

According to the report, the wife woke up to the sound of a saw. She looked out her window to find a gray sedan in her driveway. She approached to find a suspect dressed all in black laying on the ground between the couple's two cars.

The suspect quickly rose and ran toward his vehicle with a saw in his hand. He threw the saw into his trunk and drove away. Police say the suspect sawed off the catalytic converters before he departed.

Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Livonia police at 734-466-2470, or Crime Stoppers of Michigan at 1-800-SPEAK-UP.
